Cam seal and crank seal homemade removal tool

[Slumpert]

Okay so I was hacking away at my camshaft seal and then I decided to re-purpose a .99 harbor freight pick.. It worked very well except I wish it had a bigger handle as it really is hard to pull those seals out.

I tool my dremel with a cut off blade and shorted, then rounded the tip. Inserted into the seal with the point going along the inside of the lip and then turn 90 so the tip is now behind the spring and just pull straight out.

First seal on the left was the one I was hacking on with screwdrivers and screws and drill bits.. Then I made this tool and out it popped. Then I popped the other seal out in litteraly 5 sec.. Crank seal took 3 insertions and I wished I had a bigger handle but I came out with within 1 minute..
